Dr Nick Jenkins, Medical Director at the trust

Everyone uses WhatsApp as it is so much easier, but it doesn’t meet the confidentiality standards of the NHS, as a medical director I couldn’t advise it...it makes phenomenal sense so I started looking to see if it could be done.

James Catton, Physician Associate

Explains what it’s like using Medic Bleep:

Medic Bleep has sped everything up. It makes it a lot quicker for me to talk to my colleagues across the trust.

I don’t necessarily know everybody in this trust, but on Medic Bleep you can find them really quickly through the search function. You can send them a message which has much more detail than a pager ever would have been able to, or if you need to you can speak to them directly through the app on a telephone call.

Jenna Sendall, Speech Therapist

Explains what replacing the pager system means for her:

Using Medic Bleep instead of the old bleeps is fantastic. It allows us to create groups within the speech therapy department and the sub- teams, which is great because we can communicate with our colleagues really easily. We can see when a message has been delivered and read, so we know if it has been actioned, which is brilliant.

Helen Boulton, Trauma Nurse Practitioner

Medic Bleep is that you’ve got a trail of the communication. Sometimes you’ll be really busy and you’d get a couple of bleeps through, so you can read them and you can reply. And if it isn’t urgent you can reply within a few minutes.
